Catdiesel76 Laying the Wood with PES+USP's Testify Stack

Before I get started I want to give a big thanks to PES and USPlabs for selecting me to log these products. I have been dying to try both for a long time and can't wait to see the result of this stack.

Lifting History:

I have been lifting consistently for the past 10-11 years and have done competitive powerlifting for the past 5. While prepping for a meet that was taking place last Novemeber, I had a Grade 2 sprain of my left AC Joint (Partially tore apart from the bone.) I continued training as I was approaching my 600 raw deadlift goal and severely reinjured 2 bad disks. I was out of the game until March when I began doing whatever lifts I could such as light arms, rows, light legs etc. Nothing vertical, no pressing, and no heavy legs. As of right now, I am finally getting back to being normal. My back has healed up nicely and my shoulder has drastically improved. I have now been able to do some benching and vertical movements such as pull ups for the past month or so. Over the past few months, my back has healed up nicely and I am ahead of schedule on my shoudler recovery.

Goals While Logging USP Test Powder and PES Anebeta:

My goals while running this stack will be to bulk up 10 more pounds to compete at my brother's weight class in my upcoming powerlifting meet. I want this additional weight to be as lean as possible. I want to get as strong as I can and break some existing PRs while getting my shoulder healthy once again.

My training will be a mix of high volume and high rep work for shoulder intensive movements as it is still not better as well as heavy, low rep work for squats and deads. I usually have one main, complex movement at the beginning of my workout consisting of low reps and high weight. The rest of the workout is higher rep accessory work. Training at first will be a mix of bands and some other implements and depending on progress will shift to a modified 5/3/1. I have been lifting light for awhile, have started to go more moderate, and eventually balls to the wall heavy asI attempt to peak. You can see a bunch of my progress and workout examples in my previous log:

Big C you are going to love this stack. Makes you feel like King Kong. My suggest though is 6 caps ed with the last 2 pre bed. You better go shopping big man. AB will turn you into a Black Hole with food. Lmao

It seems a good amount of people are suggesting 6 caps for my weight. Im going to go a few more days and workouts and take it from there

Ok so I go antsy and ended up starting the testify stack on Friday. Last night was my first workout.

Workout went really well. Have not done box squats in about 6 months but starting to alternate them in as I get closer to my competition. Speed on squats was great and where I wanted to be. Endurance was great. Also, im not sure if it is from the Agmatine in Test Powder or the AB, but my pumps were great. I had a pump in arms from a squat day which is not normal. Other than that nothing really new to report other than I felt good and strength is good. Also, I have been trouble sleeping recently but last night I had the deepest sleep in recent memory. No increased hunger yet either.

yeah bud go with six, big difference from 4 . Can't wait to see what you think of T powder I have that as well never tried it before..

I think im going to do that since I have an extra bottle of AB from a trade. Im excited for Test Powder too. I have tried Testforce 2, D-Pol, and Bulk DAA (Testforce being my favorite) so I will have good grounds for comparison. Might make an excellent addition for your upcoming PCT

I have not tried HCGenerate but everything looks like its going to be a real solid PCT. Your squats look like they have been shooting up man keep getting after it. I always feel bigger and overall stronger with squats and deadlifts

First of all stuff mixes no problem. A little bit of powder that falls to the bottom but no big deal. Taste is OK. I do not care whatsoever how my supplements taste (minus protein.) That being said, the taste of Test Powder is not bad, but it is not great either. Kind of a bitter aftertaste. Reminds me of MAN Clout but a little better. It has nothing on alphamine's fruit punch but I don't think anything does. I think the Agmatine might be giving me some increased pumps, especially mixed with Condense's nitrates.

Also, I might have spoken too soon on the hunger issue. Just as last night was the first night I noticed the deep sleep on the Testify stack people rave about, this morning is the first time I have been absolutely starving. I will keep updated to see if this is constant or just for this morning.

The hunger will taper off after a week or 2.. I have gotten amazing pumps by just taking Agmatine alone 30 mins prior to workouts and it does not taper off.

Hah, the AB Black Hole of hunger has begun. I am insatiable on that stuff. I agree on the TP taste as well. Good but not great. It has sort of a chalky,bitter after taste. Liking the box squats C. I have been missing those myself. Right now I'm killing myself with Zerchers. They are like a deadlift/squat all in one. You feel like an animal when doing them. Can't wait for the TP alpha attitude to hit for you.

Man that is impressive. I can only hope that I will able to do Zerchers when I am your age. That is just plain inspiring good job

Grabbed a back workout last night. Was able to deadlift even though I squatted and did good mornigns the day before. I usually try to get at least 3 days in between the two but I only have 3 days I can workout this week so I figured what the hell.

I felt like I had a very solid deadlift session especially after doing legs the day before. Grip had some give to it almost let go of the last rep on Deads but it will get there. I am strongest at the ******* portion so I can go prety heavy with bands. I struggle mor getting the weight moving so I will be doing some defecit deads to work on that. Everything else felt great and great endurance. Also, was able to squeeze out more reps than usual on the BB rows.

Supplement notes: Noticed an insane pump today. Im not sure if its the TP or Anabeta but they are ridiculous. Strength has gone up slightly. I got great sleep once again last night. The hunger I felt yesterday was a fluke as I was normal the rest of the day and not hungry at all this morning. Might be having a slight increase in acne but nothing major by any means. I also bumped Anabeta to 6 caps. Going good so far and it is still damn early

DAM BRO!!! 555 DL you the man... Also seeing a lot of volume going on for the weight your moving! Yeah AB had me feeling better than some PH cycles wait until your about 2 weeks in made me feel hard as a rock!

Thanks man its only 555 at the very top and around the mid 400's at the bottom but I was still very pleased with it. About right where it should be this far out. Volume on assistance will be decreasing as the weeks go on. Im excited for this run especially if things keep up at this pace

Last night did some light bench work. I had to go cut down some trees on our hunting property and accidentally irritated my shoulder again lifting logs from the trailor to the burn pile. So sick of this its been a whole year as of this week and I still probably have a good 6 months to go (18 month injury). To make it worse, my buddy just had a complete surgery on his AC joint and is cleared to do whatever after 3 months. Sorry for bitching I just hate not being able to be 100% and tear up the gym. Light bench work does not irritate it though so I will stick to that for now. Also, my squat and dead numbers are moving along nicely so at least I have that.

Workout felt pretty good. Obviously can't go heavy on bench or do too much but it felt good. Getting a PR on triceps was a great boost and made me feel much better about my workout. Glad my triceps seem to be staying strong even without much pressing. I will just have to wait it out until I am fully healed and until then just do the best with what I have.

Supplement Notes: Still having great sleep. Only got 6 hours of sleep last night but I still feel good today. Pumps are insane again. My chest ballooned up even without much work. Strength seems to be increasing nicely as I set a PR and still had a good amount in the tank for cable extensions. Still no increased hunger and some additional acne but nothing too bad

Nothing like a PR to make it all feel better. Did you ever get a MRI on that shoulder? I've been dealing with neck/ trap /shoulder pain for a year now. Tried everything, Chiro, massage, heat, ice, acupuncture nothing worked. Finnally went and got a MRI 2 weeks ago and have a bulged disk between # 5-6! Got some Anti-inflammatories and they are helping.

No because all of the doctors who I have seen said it would not be necessary and its just one of those things I will have to ride out. At this point though I am seriously considering going to get one. Even if i is just what they say it is, the piece of mind might be worth it

I heard the same BS till I couldn't take it anymore. It's worth a 30 min scan to get piece of mind.. M2C

Sorry for the lack of updates guys. I have been out of town since Thursday and just got back in town at 2 am last night. Of course I was taking y stack the whole time and got some workouts in so I will update later today once I get some work stuff straightened out.

Ok so as I mentioned I managed to get a leg workout in over the weekend. The weekend was hectic as I was out of town for family stuff then a football game so diet was not as good as usual and sleep was near non existent. Still pretty decent workout though.

Been taking TP as directed with Saturday being my off day and dosing Anabeta at 6 caps per day with 2 pre and post workout.

I had a good workout. I have not used this band set up in a while and was still able to perform the same poundages I used to. Bar speed felt pretty good too and had some good explosion out of the hole. Back felt pinched a bit but nothing bad and I feel it had more to do with driving 7 hours than anything. Overall, progress is going as planned and I feel good.

Supplement Notes: Strength seems to be getting better slowly but surely which I am happy about. I did not get much sleep and was waking up a bit through the night, but the periods I did sleep seemed to be much deeper with wild, vivid dreams. Weight is the same despite a crappy diet over the past couple of days which I am pleased about. No increase in hunger and the increased acne seems to have subsided. Overall, I am very pleased so far. Having good workouts and strength in the gym despite lack of sleep, quality diet, and immense amounts of stress. Could not ask for more so far.

I really want to try some bands out for some of my lifts sometime. Nice workout despite the other issues.

Thanks man. You definitely should. I feel they help a good deal with increasing acceleration under the bar, ******* strength, and are easier on the body as the weight is lightest when you are at the most vulnerable position. Not too mention it is a fun way to mix things up.

I got a great deal on mine at elitefts they usually have some great deals on them pretty frequently

Those bands are a pain to get used to. Before spending the money, might want to test them out.

I imagine they are useful (?) but I continue to accept with old age, just K.I.S.S.

My buddies and I hated them + just never got used to them.

Good luck manggg

Thanks guys. I don't lift at a conventional gym so I already have access to some bands and chains just a matter of actually trying them out. I like to keep things pretty simple though but they just sound interesting to try to rotate in for a short duration.
